There’s a wall upon the prairie loudly ,
swelling on the air,
The liepeless c.y of frenzy, of terror and
despair.
The wife for hel lost husband, the mother C
for her son, u
The Biaii’en for her lover—the heart so j
lately won. i
Somw profound is in each heart and tears i
dtt" every eye, j
And ihioughont the hapless neighliorhood
there peals one bopel ess cry—
The widow’s wa l of frenzy from hearts '
by anguish wrung, <
Oh the heart Is often widowed and petri- (
fled when young. |
A host of sturdy miners, in their manly 1
strength and bloom, |
Buried in one black sepulchre, engulfed in ]
one dark tomb,
Men who would charge the battery grim
or bravo the reddest field. 1
Breve hearts as those that draw the sword '
or raise the crimson shield. t
Away from light, away from hope, one 1
hundred feet below '
The surface of the fragrant earth—pressed t
by the watery loo;
No ontlct to the light or air, no veat or
shaft to save,
Confined like wild I leasts in a cage no sue- J
cor for the brave.
There are various kinds of murder, reek
lag, crimson, black and red, 1
There are various kinds of frenzy, ofthe
heart and of the head; • i
There are awful strokes of madness, ofthe
intellect and brain,
Paralyzed by cruel terror or by sudden
crushing pain.
There’s murder on the glowing earth, be
neath the biilliant sun;
There’s murder on the battlefield with sa
tire, Unco and gun;
There s murder on the frigate’s deck upon
the hounding brine,
Bi I the darkest kind of murder is murder

There’s stains of murder on each hearth— ,
There's red stains on each door—

Strikes Against the Introduction
of Non-Union Labor,
Most fair minded men are aew
| teady to admit the right of workmen •
Ito strike when they ceanet agree
with employers concerning wages.
They see that the relation be
tween employer and employed is a
strictly business one, and that the
employer hag a right to say ha will
not pay more than a certain sum and
the emp oyed have an equal right to
sav they will not work for that sum.
Of course either party to th* disputi
may make a mistake, and if the em
ployer lores skilled labor out of which
he could have made a profit he euf
fere ftom grasping at too much ;
while if the employed demtno’ more
than can be profitably paid to them
they will not only fail te make wnges
during the strike but ultimately etxffcr
defeat. The misery ot the whole
business is that while a factory ataiids
idle both parties lose aud no oae
gains. Hence every sensible msa
hears of strikes with regret, and all
such hesitate to bring them about.
But despite this they are unavoid
able. They ars precisely of the same
nature as the frequent interraiptioas
to bargaining which characterize all
trades. A man having a farm for
sale states his price, yet an intending
purchaser rarely comes forward sad
promptly pays the figure aeked. He
usually offeri a smaller one. The
ssller declines it. If he really wants
to sell he usually abates a little on
the price first asked. Prcbahly the
intending purchaser comes up a tittle
on bis offer, and this process conk inues
till at last, as the phrase goes on , tbs
two come together, or else one says
he will take no less then a certain
sum and the other refuses to give
that much and the bargain is off.
The same is true of bargains in rela
tion to a continuing supply. Both
parties in such -cases go along for a
long time mutually satisfied; but
after a while one or the other gets
dissatisfied, an d the teller demands
more or the purchaser declares his
unwillingness to continue to pay so
much, and thert is either a new bar
gain or a creation of business rela
-1 tions. This often produces lose or
' both, and is rarely a desirable thing
' in itself, but it is the only way yet
devised by for settling the prop-
er price of commodities, and so tar si
we can now aee there is no other prac
tioabls way of nettling the price cl
labor. t
But some who see this, and freely .
acknowledge it, take exception to th y
action of man wh > strike because o.
the introduction of non-nnioo laboi (
This, they esy, in not a demand for a
certain price for labor, but an attempt (
at dictation. We fail to see how it i- (
any more dictatorial than the demand
tor a certain price. It is certainly J
not a wanton act born of a dssira t.
interfere, but is strictly a part, and |
an tasential part, of the general effot ,
to obtain what the wotkmen regani |
an fair wages. The only thing whicl
can give men any power to secure
fair wages is combination or union ,
If they compete against each othei j
the constant tendency will be to
bring wages lower and lower. In
stinct as wall a* long experisner
teaches them this, and hence their
very first doty toward themselves
and one anotber is to maiatain their
union. They cannot do this if they
work side by side with men from out
side the organization. If this were
permitted every mean fellow who
wanted tc shirk paying his fair pro
portion of the union’* expense* ard
have the ch nee of catting under the
regular price to retain employment in
slack times would prefer to be out of
th* organization, just ae many such
are. To tolerate this would be for
the workingman to abandon the very
citadel and threw away the fruit* of
the year* of struggle fer their
right te price the labor they have to
sell. So far then from beiag some
thing which tkay ought not to object
to, the introduction of non-union la
bor is, if they are sensible, the
thing they will always strike
against more quickly than anything
else. They might in cess of need
submit to reduction of wages • r
lengthening of houie, losing m thing
but a probable temporary liminutien
in the price ot tkeir labor; but it
Ih.y submit to a aiuicesiful attxck on
their organization they loss then
hold ou the only lever which cai
ever raise their wages however fav
orable the opportunity for a tis* may
be. It is thoughtless theu to sy
that wbbe a strike against the re
duction ot wages may justifiable one
against the introduction of non-union
labor is dictatorial and wrong.—Bal

Ores from Arizona.
Mr. Thomas Brown, mine inspector,
has received by express, trom Mr. J.
F. Harrison, Arizoaa Territory, sev
eiai tpicimens of coal and ores, with
crystallize ! palm and agates. The
coal is firm a 9 foot vein 157 miles
west ol Albuqusique, on the Atlantic
and Pa< ific tailroad, and is cal ed
mineral pitch in the West, owing to
the large parcel tage of rosin contain
ed in it amounting to about 88 per
cent. Mr. Hanisou wants Mr.
Brown's opinion as to its usefulness,
si he proposes securing a tract of it
by entry if the soal <a found valuable.
The crystalized pitched wood is ot
the palm species, long si c* extinct
from that local.ty, and only known
. from its petrified stats.
He also sends several varieties of
lava or pomice stone, their colon dte
ignating the strata of the earth where
the vocauio heat laid when the erup
tion took place. Th* volcanic de
posits cover an area f 300 miles
square, Fort Wingate, New Mexico,
being the central point.
Lavafai county, where Mr. Harri
eon now resides, is larger than the
New England States, and is a diver
sified section ot the country, with
arid plains, rich valleys and rocky
bills, and underbid with maay kinds
of mineral*.
He also sends Mr. Brow* a speci
men of mica, a specimen of copper
taken from the artesian well at Ash
Fork, at a depth of nearly 900 feet,
while the pebbly bed of the Rio
Euerto is bedecked with water agates,

Arbitration.
Mr. Eckley B. Cox*, of Drifton, a
member of the Senate of Fenneylva
nia, ia quoted aa having mnde the fol
lowing remarks on the subject of ar
bitration; which ia jest now attract
ing ao much attention in the Pennsyl
vania coal trade : ‘‘When men are
negotiating with each other for the
purchase of the labor of the one by
the other, it is Tary difficult for the
parties concern'd to treat the ques
tion dispassionately when both feel, if
they do not come to terms, they mast
fight. Gut if there is a method by
which all points upon which they can
not agree may be settled with justice
and honor to both, the way for a fair
and open discussion of the whole mat
ter ia open, and but few subjects will
tiave to be referred to the outside tri
bunal. But it may be agaiust
■ his bill that there is no method by
which the decision of the tribunal can
be enforced, and it wilt therefore be
very ifficult to compel the working
men to eubmit to its decision. This
is not a valid objection, I have al
ways found that workingmen are a*
honorable in tbia respect as any other
dais of men, rich *r poor, educated
or an* lucated, that I oome in con
tact with in my business ; and I am
satisfied that there is no more danger,
if a* much, *f their declining te ac
cept this decision and abiding by it
than there is of the employers refus
ing so to do. One of the great diffi
cu'ties that arises whsn arrangements
are mad* to settle labor disputes by
conference is the fact that delegates
on both sides often come with cast-iron
iuet ructions from which they hare no
power to deviate; but if the confer
ence ware to be followed by a refer
ence on any points upon which tfaay
could not agree to auch a tribunal,
the delegatee would come to the con
ference instructed in a general way
only, and many matters, which under
lb* old state of adairr, would not be
sitied, would without difficulty be
-lijnslcd. Tee position ol an employ
er tends to produce in his mind an
idea that he oocu, ies a superior posi
tion, or kae greater right* than the
workingman. The existence of such
a tribunal before whom ho and the
workingman appear to be on equal
tooting will tend to make him realize
the true condition of affaire, which is,
that bith parties are ia ail rest sets
equal. Though not pretending to be
n workingman or in any Way his rep
resentative, but on the contrary, a
large employer of labor of all kinds,
I feel and admit that he baa equal
right* with mo. What be properly
demands, and what be will have, is
justice. To be satisfied, he must feel
that the bargain is fair, and that it
hai been reached in an honorable
way, without any resort to force or
coercion. He cares more fur this thau
for a slight addition to or reduction
Irosa bis daily pay. Where the work
ingman doe* not get hie just dues,
trouble mast ensue, and capital must
pay iti share of the bill, which in of
ten a large one. luo not claim that
this bill is perfect—l do not claim
even that it is the proper remedy—
yet I do say that it is a step in the
light direction. There is no royal
toad to the settlement of the great
question of capital and labor.. It is
uks cutting a road through a thick
forest. We mast push ahead, and aa
Irom time to time a ray of sunlight
breaks in and shows that we are trav
